I-Team: City of Houston shuts down two radioactive water wells

HOUSTON -- A radioactive water well that is controlled by the City of Houston, and that serves residents of Jersey Village, is no longer being used, according to the communications director for Houston Mayor Annise Parker.

On Monday, a KHOU-TV investigation revealed Jersey Village water well #3 was one of 10 water wells identified by recent federal tests as having tested high for a particularly damaging form of radiation called alpha radiation.

As recently as two weeks ago, city officials had said that same well, and nine others across the city, remained online and “available for use,” even after being identified in a draft report by the United States Geological Survey as testing high for radioactive contaminants that are known to immediately increase risks for cancer.

In addition, the city says it is no longer using Spring Branch water well #6. That well was found to have smaller levels of radiation by the draft USGS report, but not enough to approach the legal limit. Instead, the federal agency found it had tested double the legal limit for arsenic, another carcinogen that can cause cancer and other ill health effects.....

1. Just learned the story from an old Superman show.

About they are not doing harm and tolerance. That makes some sense, but there is another step to helping them besides protection.


On a side note, the presentation of the show on Superman does say that he was killed that it was not suicide.

The clues are that he said his 'sponsor' died. And that he was going to 'direct', and that he really believed in the concepts of justice, and was going to say some stuff.

That is best guess why Reeves was shot.


Side note, I don't think George Reeves is dead.


The reason I posted that here, is it said that if the little people in the tunnels were hurt it would make the water radioactive, I think it just makes people glow, but does explain some other things, thanks George.
